In a press release today, the EMS company said the delay stemmed from the need to review accounts at one of its plants.
The company said it had substantiated the questionable accounts but that its independent auditor had yet to sign off.
The company said it filed for a 15-day extension for the 10-K. It expects to file by the end of the calendar year.
